In Studio Performances

We regularly present two live performance series at the Dresher Ensemble Studio in West Oakland: In Studio Performances, a multi-disciplinary time-based arts series that presents artists working in both contemporary and traditional performing art forms — theater, dance, and music — from all over the world; and West Oakland Sessions co-presented with Jazz in The Neighborhood with a focus on jazz, improvised and “creative” music.

The Dresher Ensemble Studio is located in West Oakland (very near the Bay Bridge) in a large building whose entrance is at 2201 Poplar Street, Oakland, at the corner of Poplar and West Grand Ave. Street parking is easily accessible. Seating is limited – Tickets should be purchased in advance.

To ensure both the performers and the audience’s safety, we require that everyone attending has been vaccinated and will wear a mask. Read our Covid policies.
